Courses of Study 

Par Nnn-Residents and Past-Braduatea. 



^HE CONTINUAL application of non-residents and 
post-graduates, wishing to take systematic instruction 
leading up to certain degrees, can no longer be denied. The 
following courses of study and regulations thereof have been 
officially adopted. These courses are the outgrowth of a 
careful examination of corresponding courses published by 
various prominent institutions, the best features of which 
are here incorporated. The greatest care has been taken to 
present courses of study equal to any offered by other colleges , 
in point of excellence and thoroughness. 

The tendency to reduce to the minimum the grades of 
requirement for post graduate degrees, thereby bringing those 
degrees into comparative disrepute among scholars, has been 
especially guarded against. Merit of scholarship and not 
numbers of students, thoroughness of work and not ease of 
graduation, have been steadily held in view. Constant atten- 
tion will be given to keep these courses up to the times and 
to make their chief value consist in the work performed 
rather than the degrees conferred. 

No degrees will be conferred except in cases where appli- 
cants have fully met the conditions and have performed the 
work faithfully. Every candidate must pass rigid examina- 
tions with satisfaction to the Facultv. 



4 COtmSES OF STUDY FOR 

Undergraduates, Bachelors' Degrees. — Special provis- 
ion will be made by tbe Faculty for students who, for some 
good cause, were compelled to leave college when having 
nearly finished their regular collegiate courses for Bachelor 
of Arts, Science or Philosophy. Satisfactory certificates as to 
character and grades must be presented from the college 
where previous studies were pursued. Such college must be 
of accredited standing. The work necessary to graduation 
will be prescribed by the Faculty, upon completion of which 
and upon satisfactory examination either degree will be con- 
ferred. The grade of these degrees will be faithfully regard- 
ed in the work assigned. One invariable condition to gradu- 
ation must be the subsequent completion of one of the ad- 
vanced courses. A thesis of at least 1,000 words upon a topic 
previously approved by the President must be presented, 
acceptable to the Faculty. Examination upon the studies 
for these degrees will cost the same as for undergraduates in 
regular attendance at^the college, namely |3.00 per study. 
Diploma, $7.50. 

Masters' Degrees. — Candidates for the degrees of Mas- 
ter of Arts, Master of Science or Master of Philosophy, must 
have previously received the corresponding degrees of Bach- 
elor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, or Bachelor of Philosophy 
respectively, from this institution or from some other college 
requiring equal work for 'graduation. The completion of 
three consecutive groups, selected under the advisement of 
the Faculty, will entitle a candidate to the Master's Degree. 
A thesis of at least 2000 words upon some topic previously 
approved by the President must be presented for acceptance 
by the Faculty. 

Doctor of Philosophy. — Several courses are presented 
leading to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Candidates 
must have previously received the degree of Bachelor of Arts, 



KON-RESIDENTS AND POST-GRADUATES. O 

Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Philosophy in order to be 
admitted to study for this degree. The first two groups of 
the Philosophical Course are reqmred. The other four groups 
may be selected by the candidate, provided no six groups 
altogether are required for this degree. Provided, however, 
candidates who have taken the Master's Degree on examina- 
tion at our hands may be credited with the three groups 
thus taken. This degree will not be conferred on candidates 
until at least five years after they have received the Bach- 
elor's Degree. The Master's Degree must be conferred before 
the degree of Ph. D. can be granted. A thesis on a toiDic 
previously approved by the President, of not less than 5,000 
words, must be presented, acceptable to the Faculty, and 
bound in book form suitable for preservation in the college 
library. This must be accompanied by an analytical outline 
or synopsis. 

Examinations. — All except the final examinations must 
take place during the first week in December and June. In 
all cases the applicant shall give at least four week's notice 
of the studies to be examined upon. Candidates for the 
degree of Ph. D. cannot be examined upon any more than 
three groups in any given year. Provision will be made for 
the examination of such persoias as find it quite impossible to 
be at the regular examinations at the college. Upon the 
payment of the matriculation fee, candidates may indicate 
some experienced educator by whom they desire to be exam- 
ined. In each case the acceptability of the examiner must 
be passed upon by the Faculty. When possible, however, 
candidates will be required to sit before examiners specially 
selected for this purpose by the college. When the candidate 
has an examiner of his own selection he must make all need- 
ful arrangements to that end. But all examinations must be 
conducted by examiners upon specific instruction given them 



6 COtJESES OF STUDY FOR 

by the Faculty. The last exammations for all these degrees 
must invariably be conducted at the college during the week 
preceding the annual commencement. Examinations upon 
the last two groups for the Master's or Doctor's degree must 
be taken at the College. No examination will be permitted 
upon any study previously passed upon in examination. 



Pees. 

The fees for Bachelors' Degrees are given above. For 
Masters' and Doctors' Degrees the fees are : 

Matriculation, $ 5.00 

Examination for M. A., 15.00 

Examination for Ph. D., 30.00 

Diploma, 5.00 

The matriculation fee must be paid in advance. No 
examination will be given apon any study of a group until 
the examination fee for the entire group shall have been 
paid. The diploma fee must be paid prior to the last exam- 
ination. 

All communications as to these degrees should be ad- 
dressed to the President, or the Secretary of the Faculty.
